Year 2

Welcome to Year 2 2025-26 with Mrs Spry and Miss Derry.

We would encourage you to keep an eye on these pages as we like to share aspects of the children’s learning and experiences from Elm and Hazel classes.

9th March 2026 - History

This term, Year 2 have been learning about fossils in their Significant People history unit which has centered on Mary Anning. The children have really enjoyed drawing their own fossils to accompany their diary entries in their paleontological journals. They have also been thinking about how dinosaurs may have looked very different to the reptilian images we have of them and have even had a go at adding feathers, muscle and fatty features to skeletons to create their own versions of popular dinosaurs. They are loving it!

 

20th January 2026 - We the curious visit!

Year 2 went on a school trip to 'We the Curious' to support our science learning about materials and space. We got to explore the museum, watch a show in the planetarium and even build our own houses. Thank you to all the parents who came along. We had a great day!

23rd October 2024 - Bristol Zoo Project

Year 2 went to Bristol Zoo Project as part of their science unit 'Animals'. They took part in a workshop about Madagascar and each chose a zoo animal to write a science report on. We had the best time, and were very thankful that the weather was on our side!
